The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process country-level training has been developed jointly by GIZ, the NAP GSP, UNDP, UNITAR and UNEP. It is supposed to assist multiple sectors at the country-level and constitutes the basis for a country upon which to strategize, steer and manage its NAP process. The overall aim of the training is to build capacities for the integration of a variety of sectors into the NAP process as well as to include adaptation to climate change into a country’s political- and budget planning.

Thus, the participants of the training work towards a common understanding of what NAP means for their country, which indicates that the training is tailored to the requirements of the group of participants and the country context.

How can countries track and report on their adaptation progress at national level? What is the purpose of national adaptation monitoring and reporting and what does it look like in practice? How can it support learning and decision making? At the Side Event, pioneering countries will present their approach followed by an interactive fishbowl discussion with the audience.

This Side Event at the UN Climate Change Conference (SB42) is organized by GIZ on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Speakers include:
